Chapter 10: Vitality Gem (Part 1)

"Hehe, isn't there an older sister? Sister, you are a Level 6 warrior, right? Let's catch them together. This will be a great achievement!" Shen Fei said with a grin.

Upon seeing Shen Fei in such a state, Shen Haofeng instead sat down calmly, crossed his legs, patted his shoulders, and moved his neck, muttering to himself: "Ah, I'm getting old, no longer useful, why are my shoulders so sore"

Consider how the boss has truly failed as a father, being unaware of the abilities of his own children. The reason Shen Fei is aware is that he is closely bonded with his sister, and only after noticing a few distinct signs did he come to this realization, such as the ability to extinguish mosquitoes with a finger, which is a skill possessed by at least a fifth-level warrior

Just as Shen Fei was about to say something, he felt a tap on his head. Turning around, he saw Shen Haofeng first scold, "Get out of the way!" Then he muttered, "This little brat is quite clever, running away so fast." However, upon seeing the situation outside the door, his expression immediately turned serious, and he pulled Shen Fei behind him.

"Ah, it hurts. Sister, I have discovered that enemies have infiltrated the town." Upon seeing his sister, Shen Fei immediately said in an excited whisper.

At this moment, the leader of our faction and the members of the branch have all turned green, indicating that the leader has become the head of the faction. The members within the faction have automatically transformed from blue allies to green comrades, while the enemies across the way are undoubtedly all red. However, why are there so many white dots?

Hurry to the town gate. Shen Haofeng waved his hand and led a large group of people towards the town gate. However, when they reached the town gate, he nearly stumbled, as Shen Fei, this clever little rascal, had already brought a group of ten or so young boys, who were surrounding the town gate and shouting something with great bravado.

Shen Yuxia looked at Shen Fei with some confusion, wondering how her younger brother knew where the enemy was. Shaking her head, she quickly stepped in front of Shen Fei, fearing that her brother might be harmed by the enemy.

Bursting out of the main hall, he saw a group of men in black emerging from various parts of the branch, brandishing clubs and rushing aggressively towards the main gate. Shen Haofeng could not help but shout, "Where are the bastards of the Eight Tiger Gang?" Upon seeing him come out, the men in black immediately lined up in front of him, awaiting orders.

"Hey, I naturally know my sister's strength. She must be afraid that my brother-in-law would feel embarrassed, which is why she hides her abilities. In fact, sister, you don't need to hide at all; you should let my brother-in-law know that you are better than him. This way, he won't dare to bully you in the future" said Shen Fei

"Hmm, that feels good, apply a bit more pressure on the left side." Shen Haofeng closed his eyes to enjoy it for a moment, then picked up his tea and took a sip, speaking slowly: "Here's the thing, do you remember a month ago when I went out alone?"

Upon seeing her sister, a glimmer sparkled in her eyes, and suddenly a memory that had settled deep in her mind surfaced. Shen Fei was drenched in cold sweat, feeling somewhat anxious as he said: "Sister, um, I still think it’s quite unlikely for just the two of us siblings to capture five enemies. Perhaps we should call a few more people for assistance?"

The man named Chen Bahu turned around to glance at the more than ten hunters dressed in hunting attire, carrying bows and arrows, as well as others wielding axes. He feigned confusion and said, "Rebellion? Shen Haofeng, what are you talking about? They are merely the hunters and woodcutters of my Hufeng Town. The bows, arrows, and axes they carry are just tools for their livelihood; how can that be considered rebellion?" At this point, he glared and shouted, "I, Chen Bahu, the dignified leader, do not have time to speak with you, a small captain. Quickly summon your branch leader, Chen Chaojun."

"You actually became the helmsman?" Eight Tigers was quite surprised

No one else noticed him, but Shen Yuxia, who rushed out with a stick to assist because the Eight Tiger Gang was blocking the town gate, kept her eyes fixed on this guy Shen Fei. So, as soon as she saw him running back, she immediately followed and grabbed Shen Fei by the ear: "You little rascal, where do you think you're going?"

Chen Bahu, Old Chen! Do you have no shame? You actually surrounded my door without even issuing a challenge, completely tarnishing the honor of the martial world with your actions!" Shen Fei shouted, one hand on his hip and the other pointing at a group of strong men outside the town gate.

"Oh dear sister, it can't possibly be those few eighth-level warriors. Just now, I saw well-known masters from the Eight Tiger Gang right beside the Eight Tigers! Such infiltration into the town wouldn't involve those experts. It's fine, sister, this is our territory; if anything goes wrong, a single shout can summon help. Don't you want to capture these five intruders to bring glory to the newly appointed leader?" Shen Fei quickly said.

I remember, at that time when I asked you where you were going, you wouldn't say anything. Boss, is it related to the fact that you said the position of the leader of the Battle Hall team belongs to you

"Boss, I am at your service." Shen Fei immediately brought a chair and placed it behind Shen Haofeng, then stood on it to start massaging the boss's shoulders, while eagerly asking, "Boss, please tell me!"

Chen Bahu, are you really prepared to fight us to the death while armed with a bow and knife? Do not forget that gathering troops in public is tantamount to treason. Even if your backer is someone from the government, it will not protect you!

"Leader Chen is already a member of the main hall. I, Shen Haofeng, have received the special favor of the sect leader and am now the master of the Tiger's Den branch. If you have any matters to discuss, feel free to speak with me," Shen Haofeng said with neither arrogance nor servility.

Shen Fei curiously glanced around and discovered that the white dots were actually the idle onlookers from the town who were gathered at a distance to watch the commotion. Could it be that the white dots represented ordinary people without any stance?

While Shen Fei was pondering to himself, he suddenly noticed five red dots slowly moving out of his display range within the white dot. He was taken aback and exclaimed, "What the hell! How did five enemies infiltrate the town?"

Shen Yuxia gave Shen Fei a light tap on the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! We must immediately inform Father; the Eight Tiger Gang has several eighth-level warriors. It is possible that these eighth-level warriors have infiltrated the town." By this point, her expression had already turned grave, and she was about to turn around to find Shen Haofeng.

"What? The bastards from the Eight Tiger Gang actually dare to come knocking?" Shen Haofeng, filled with rage, immediately jumped up and rushed out, while Shen Fei, without needing any prompting, eagerly followed closely behind.

Hearing the familiar scene of empty rhetoric, knowing that Shen Fei was very likely unable to engage, he immediately lost interest and began to focus on his own map

"Captain! The members of the Eight Tiger Gang are blocking the town gate." Someone responded loudly, and the news of Shen Haofeng and their appointments spread almost immediately throughout the branch, prompting everyone to change their tune at once

Shen Yuxia, at such a young age, has already taken on the responsibilities of managing the household and possesses exceptional skills. Naturally, she is not as weak as the typical young ladies who are fond of books; her nature can undoubtedly be described as fierce. Therefore, it makes sense that Shen Fei's words resonate with her. If she were to capture five intruders, it would certainly bring honor to her father, who has just assumed the position of captain.

"Not many, only five were found," Shen Fei casually remarked, but as soon as the words left his mouth, his ears were pulled even more painfully, and he was directly reprimanded by his sister: "You little brat! You think you can capture all five enemies by yourself? How dare you be so bold!" No matter how indulgent Shen Yu Xia was towards Shen Fei, she would not allow him to engage in such dangerous activities.

Ah? Shen Fei was taken aback, and instinctively asked eagerly, "What is going on? Boss, please tell me quickly." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Haofeng with a face full of anticipation

Completely unaware that he should inform the superior, Shen Fei, who thought he could achieve great merit, excitedly plunged into the crowd without saying a word, heading towards the five red dots in the town.

Shen Fei shuddered and immediately pointed in a direction, saying: "They went that way. Huh, they actually infiltrated the branch?" Upon seeing the map, five red dots unexpectedly appeared within the branch, causing him to exclaim in surprise.

"How did you know I am a Level 6 Warrior?" Shen Yuxia asked curiously

"Enough with the nonsense! If we delay any longer, the enemy will escape. Quickly, where did the enemy go?" Shen Yuxia said, glaring.

In Shen Fei's heart, only his own sister is the true martial arts genius. A sixteen-year-old Level 6 warrior! His brother-in-law, who is constantly praised as a martial arts talent, is merely an eighteen-year-old Level 5 warrior.

Shen Yuxia glanced at Shen Fei, realizing that it was impossible to directly see the branch here. How could he know that those enemies had gone to the branch? However, she did not concern herself with these thoughts. She directly picked up Shen Fei and leaped several meters towards the branch and the library.

It is simply that my sister does not like being surrounded by a crowd, whether it is flattery or sarcasm; she dislikes both. Therefore, even the eldest brother does not realize that his daughter has reached this level of capability, let alone that brother-in-law who always thinks of himself as a genius. Usually, everyone only knows that my sister is very formidable when she dotes on and disciplines her younger brother, but they are unaware that her own strength is equally impressive.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuxia threw the stick aside, flexed her wrist, and smiled, "Very good, I finally have the opportunity to experience what real combat is like"

Looking at the map, Shen Fei immediately said, "They have scattered, sister, follow me." Saying this, he quickly rushed towards the nearest red dot on the map

"What? Are there enemies infiltrating? How many?" Shen Yuxia immediately frowned and said

A robust man surrounded by a group of burly men clenched his teeth in anger, wishing he could crush the arrogant young brat right then and there. However, considering the issues of age and status, he could only deliberately wave his hand dismissively and say, "Get lost, you little brat! Tell your branch leader from the Tiger Might faction to come out."

Returning to the branch, the young and middle-aged members of the branch had all gone to the town gate, leaving only the servants standing at the entrance of the branch. Shen Yuxia asked, "Where have they gone?"

I am not yet imposing enough. Shen Fei muttered somewhat discontentedly, hiding behind the leader, silently reciting: "Activate." The map immediately appeared, and dozens of red dots emerged on it, prompting Shen Fei to sigh: "Indeed, red signifies the enemy."

Indeed, that time I was actually carrying out a secret order personally issued by the leader. I was just about to start my storytelling when suddenly, a voice from outside exclaimed, "Not good! The Eight Tiger Gang has come knocking!"
